Product description
Just handed over a week’s wages for a Nexus 4? Good choice. Some people get emotional at the cry of a new-born child or the aroma of cut grass. You, however, prefer a high resolution display, a chip faster than a caffeinated Usain Bolt and a super tough exterior. And rightly so.
By the way, you might feel the same way about your iPad, your Nikon D800, your Pentax K10D or even your Kindle or TomTom.
We understand. It’s the feel in your hand. The chicken-bone lightness. The pigmented glass and anodised casing. Time for a cold shower.
But you might also feel deep dread. How are you going to keep that sleek mirror stillness and perfection of form?
You’ve experienced screen protectors before. You paid buttons, which seemed like a bargain. But you might as well have used clingfilm. With more bubbles than an Ibiza foam party, your iPhone looked like the inside of an Aero.
Luckily, you’ve got Expert Shield. We make the best screen protectors money can buy. We guarantee them for life. And then we say poo to small print.
So what’s so great about Expert Shield screen protectors? Well, we’ve precision-cut them for your make and model. They’re triple-layered. They last longer than any other screen protector. They’re air-bubble-free. There’s no glue or residue. And they’re as washable and reusable as your underwear.
And all for roughly the price of an all-butter chocolate sponge. So, great value and much less fattening.
Backing it up is the best customer service ever known. That’s a no-time limits, no-scratch, no-bubble, no-quibble, no-wobble guarantee. Need your protector replacing? Just send it back.
Order online and get a finest-quality, lint cleaning cloth – completely FREE.
Buy now. Or risk unspeakable disappointment.

I cannot recommend it as a screen protector for any phone, as it is very flexible and very difficult to apply and, particularly for the LG G5, I think it's not fit for purpose.
This screen protector is a very good fit on the rear and a better fit (than the cheap screen protector I bought first) on the front. I did not like the cheap protector's matte finish plus I damaged it trying to get rid of bubbles. The Expert Shield is better, I think, all the cutouts are in the right place, it is very clear and looks and feels good. I bought the Rinke fusion protector too and it fits well with that.
However It is expensive, very expensive, so only gets 4 stars. There is a 'lifetime guarantee' - they will send you another if you need it and I did after an imperfect first attempt; they quickly and courteously replaced it. However the thought of having to go through all this again may put me off asking again in the future.
In summary it is probably a better product than the cheap ones, you probably will get a very good result but it may not be as easy to achieve as you might hope.
First off the width of the film is only just wide enough to cover the visible screen. This means that you have to be extremely accurate with the placement when fitting it. If you are just half a millimetre off centre or the film is slightly skewed then you'll have to start over as there is no margin for error. It is strangely rewarding however when you do get it right!
The other niggle is that it's not very good at repelling grease and fingerprints. The Nexus 4's oleophobic glass screen stays relatively clear and is easy to wipe clean, but greasy fingerprints are much more noticeable with this protective film applied. If you use the pattern screen unlock feature then you have to be careful to wipe away your traces!
On the plus side the screen still looks crisp and clear through the film and so far it's done a good job of resisting scratches.
First of all remove the protective film from the rear of your Nexus 4. If you don't then the IMEI sticker will create a large air bubble under the ES film, as I discovered! However I was able to remove the ES film and the IMEI film and sticker came away with it. After carefully separating the two I was able to reapply the ES film without further problem.
Mistake number two came after applying the ES film to the front of the phone. I pulled back on tab 2 to remove the outer backing piece and it came away cleanly. I was impressed at how invisible the ES film was. In fact was too invisible. The ES film had also come away with the backing piece and tab 2, and was now residing in the bin. I retrieved it but it was beyond use.
A phone call to Expert Shield and a new pack arrived the following day, even though I only needed the front protector.
Fitting these protective films is never easy, I find, but once I knew what I was doing I managed the replacement within a minute or so. Their materials allow repositioning, if you need to, without ruining the film. And it's very easy to push any air bubbles out from under the film if necessary. I'll need to see how well it does long term, but I can't praise the company highly enough for their service.
I can't review its toughness from experience, but it feels like good protection. It uses a gel bonding system rather than adhesive which makes it easy to reposition if you make an error when fitting. Bubbles were easy to eliminate and the final appearance was flawless.
However my advice would be to not remove the plastic packing films from the Nexus until you are ready to fit the shield. I swapped over the film for the shield on the front screen and the new film adhered perfectly. On the back I had removed the film a few days earlier and found the shield would not adhere. I'm guessing that a good clean with alcohol would correct matters but as my case protects the back I'm none too bothered.
It does highlight the need for the surface to be squeaky clean and free from dust. It you do that, this will be the ideal product that is easy to fit and should last the life of your Nexus 4.
